Do you know the name of it and the affected genes? My wife has had autoimmune symptoms for years and the doctors keep saying it's anxiety as well. We've had a genetic test done for the common disorders but didn't find anything

Dont have the genes on hand but it’s Familial Mediterranean Fever, more commonly shows when youngish. Idk if there’s anything that’s come to replace it but if you’re ok with putting data in hands of big med, promethease is what helped me find it (was before they sold out), likely still worth trying.

Don’t be afraid to push deeper into testing for various autoimmune.

Lot of doctors run out of date tests. False negatives are also a big issue.

Sjogrens is really bad for that, 30% show negative on the standard test.

there is an “Early Sjo” that catches what other tests miss.
